Interpol was created in New York City in 1998. The original
line-up of the band was Greg on drums, Daniel on guitar,
Paul on vox and guitar, and Carlos on bass. Between ’98 and
2000, the four lads forged a unique sound in a variety of
the city’s decrepit and shady rental rehearsal rooms.
Paying by the hour, they cultivated a unique aesthetic and
developed their notoriously delicate and complicated
creative process. In 2000, Greg and the band split leaving
Daniel, Paul, and Carlos with a significant and reflective
hiatus. It soon came about that Interpol would try out Sam,
whom Daniel knew through the record store where Sam worked.
Sam was perfect for the band as he gave Interpol a healthy
shot of punk aggression and rhythmic backbone. Now with the
line-up revitali More...

    Review about Interpol

    interpol rocks! | Reviewer: krmen
        ------ About the song C'mere performed by Interpol

    all interpol songs are amazing. Paul Banks has a magical touch every time he writes a new song it just simply gets better and cool than tha previous one.C´mere is one of interpol´s favorite song and im completely agree with all the guys the first line is so catching and brilliant!!!It's way too late to be this locked inside ourselves
    The trouble is that you're in love with someone else
    It should be me. Oh, it should be me" and these
    linesAnd so may, we make time
    Try to find somebody else
    This place is mine

    You said today, you know exactly how I feel
    I have my doubts little girl
    I'm in love with something real
    It could be me, that's changing

    And so may, we make time
    To try and find somebody else
    Who has a line


    Interpretation... | Reviewer: manny
        ------ About the song Evil performed by Interpol

    It took me a while to figure this song out - extremely hard to piece together, but after reading the interpretations on the web, and reading more about Paul Banks, I think I got it. Paul Banks was fascinated with serial killers, and as a literally major in college, probably with a lot of ideas around the inner workings of people.

    The references to the Rosemary West killings are pretty clear (not just her name, but the "trial", "cellmate" and "shards under the belly".

    Still, it doesn't make sense that this is from Fred West until the final year of his life are looked at. He confessed to the killing pretty quickly - suggesting remorse. And he attempted to make some kind of emotional contact with Rosemary...he tried twice and failed. And a few weeks later, committed suicide.

    I think this song is the story of Fred West dealing with the evil he had done, and trying to reach Rosemary...the Biblical references are pretty clear. So this is his story after he committed suicide and what he'd say to her.

    The first verse of the song is about embracing Heaven and god. "Heaven restores you in life" - this is a clear reference to being alive and that there is a means to salvation in life. The rest of the verse is about what that is and if she comes with him what she gets - it's the smile on the package, the faces in the sand, the thought that holds you up, their embraces - all the good things in life...the "slow-release" (inner peace) as opposed to the instant and twisted gratification of torturing their victims.

    The next verse is his message to her: Hey wait, great smile (his nickname for her?) - have faith and don't deny (Just confess and faith - don't play the victim card)...then again, "but hey who's on trial" An admission he coped out by committing suicide - so he can sympathize with her decision.

    Then he confesses to her what his life was about. Being completely alone (a lifespan without a cellmate) searching for a way out...from the trap of just looking the other way to everything he did - all the suffering he caused. That's the root of his "evil". Just look the other way. What was wrong with that?

    The next verse describes that world of what could be or could have been - perhaps the afterlife or fantasy existence. "I could take you places....Make a revision to a dream...."

    Later on, the line, "You need something to which to care" - I think a reference to how serial killers are considered uncaring.

    The next verse talks about their crimes, how they hoped to presume innocence and hope for a sympathetic jury....and whether or not they really loved each other and if that was over - "Is this motion everlasting or do shutters pass in the night"

    The final verse mentions that she needs someone to take her there - perhaps him or someone else (earlier - "do you need another man"). and changes the chorus - "...play the other game" a reference to their interaction not involving the girls they tortured and murdered. Suggesting once again, his remorse.

        ------ About the song C'mere performed by Interpol

    A great song without doubt... I live in Mexico and everything I listen to this beautiful track I find myself in .... I do not know, somewhere else, like in another part of the world, a cold and calm somehow city... i see a garden and myself sitting viewing through a window in a damp and rainy or sunny morning... a room full of people having a good time... It´s fab what it song make people feel... Thanks Interpol for giving us this amazing poem.


    What the...? | Reviewer: Chuck Snow
        ------ About the song Evil performed by Interpol

    What the hell does this song have to do with the wests?

    The only connection I can find is the fact that the song uses the name Rosemary.

    Can anyone enlighten me as to how everyone makes the gigantic leap from the fact the song uses the word "rosemary" to the apparent shared conclusion that it must be about Rosemary West?

    (YES, I've 'googled' and 'searched' and 'binged' and 'Yahoo'd'.)


    Why so bad on GH | Reviewer: Rayz0r
        ------ About the song Obstacle 1 performed by Interpol

    I am sure that Interpol are glad that more people are appreciating their music regardless of how they come to listen to it. I remember seeing Interpol on Jules Holland a long time ago and have been a fan ever since, obviously this is one of their best songs and I think it's fantastic that people have found out about Interpol through Guitar Hero.


    Wow | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Say Hello To The Angels performed by Interpol

    I've just started listening to this song recently. Till now i've just ignored it but now i revere it as a sort of masterpiece. Till just now I had no idea the lyrics were so perverted.. they're still hot though...


    My interpretation. | Reviewer: Aro-kun
        ------ About the song Take You On A Cruise performed by Interpol

    I believe that this song is about a love that two people both know is going to be burdened by time and maybe even distance as well.

    "Who knows how we'll disappear." Either they're together now or they've yet to become a couple, but he's speaking about how he dreads having to part with him/her.

    "The sea will crowd us with lovers at night." I think this suggests that they must be alone or seperated because when you're parted from whoever you think is "the one" you start to take on this potential-lover syndrome where you see how you could be with anyone that may give you the time of day.

    "I am the scavenger..." I honestly think he's saying "A" scavenger. Not the. But whatever. This seems to support what I just said about having the potential-lover syndrome. You just want someone to be with, so you find the first person with just a few qualities you like and cling to them instantly. He's a scavenger because he's willing to allow his standards to be null and void since he's looking for companionship in a lover so desperately.


    WTF | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Obstacle 1 performed by Interpol

    this song Is amazing It's one of mine and my future husbands fav's we been digging on this since high school and I makes me sad when people say they've only just started listening to this all because of Lame ass guitar hero It saddens me because I feel now that It bares the make of GH that it cheapens it I strongly encourage anybody that this applies to to check out other Interpol songs, because they all are sweet and beautiful.

    Yes, Interpol is the best | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song No I in Threesome performed by Interpol

    I totally agree with the first comment. Interpol is far from being a pop band. I never, ever get tired of their music.....it's the best. It touches my soul like no other music has in a really long time. This is real music. I feel blessed to have the ear to recognize a hell of a good band such as Interpol. Poor souls that are content with mainstream music.

    sweet | Reviewer: LILY
        ------ About the song Say Hello To The Angels performed by Interpol

    I just love this song, I guess it's vulgar, but I speak spanish so I understand what it means but still it's full of passion, and what I like the most is the ending "we should take a trip now to see new places, I'm sick of this town" oh I just love it, this song and slow hands were the first Interpol songs I listened and after that moment I felt in love with them :')


    ehhhhhhh | Reviewer: bix
        ------ About the song The New performed by Interpol

    This song has a general melancholic overcast to it that I find ever pleasing.

    I didn't interpret this as a song about long distance love, so much as about the difficulty that occurs in any relationship concerning loving someone and wanting to be with them v. the need to keep yourself as an individual and not losing yourself to the relationship. The part about living together is merely a hopeless dream of a better future.

    This "better" future signifies a "worse" present. There is a problem with the relationship now. And it seems like it's been slowly building up. "My heart's been breaking" signifies a certain length of time passing (the "has been" as opposed to "is", say). Giving a lot/taking a lot implies that enough time has passed in the relationship for a whole history to have been built up.
    Both parties have suffered a lot. The narrator, in particular, feels that he has lost something that was essential to his being and that he can no longer deny it to himself or his partner.

    The last part should be familiar maybe if you've ever been in a relationship that's dragged on longer than it should. It becomes ordinary to go through the motions of a happy couple without any of the happy emotion. We go out to dinner, see friends, drink and dance, but I do it because I can't seem to stop 'cos I'm attached to you (frustratingly so) but not because I really want to.




    NYC | Reviewer: Wtw
        ------ About the song NYC performed by Interpol

    I don't know about Interpol but being someone that has lived in NYC a long time, whose dreams aren't quite fulfilled. This song makes perfect sense. It's a love affair with a city, she's beautiful and exotic but isn't as faithful as you want her be.


    Dope | Reviewer: Dontlistentothistypeofmusic
        ------ About the song Obstacle 1 performed by Interpol

    I don't listen to rock music @ all really but since playing GH I've found quite a few tracks I find to be amazing, this being one. This coming from a strict hip hop fan. Don't know what it is about this song, been stuck in my head all day.


    One of the coolest songs I've ever heard. | Reviewer: Metablaze
        ------ About the song Obstacle 1 performed by Interpol

    First heard this song on Guitar Hero. Yeah, sad, I know, but I find that the way music and videogames are coming together is helping reignite my interest in music. This song is one of the best songs I've heard in my life. I can listen to it all day, and I feel like I identify with the whole feel of it. One of the coolest songs I've ever heard, in the literal sense of cool, not the "oh that's cool just because it's popular" sense, but the actual true essence of cool sense, and it prompted me to actually spend time learning about a band and becoming a fan of it, and that's very hard to get someone like me to do.
